A major summit designed to strengthen connections across the North’s technology ecosystem is coming to Sheffield this October.

With a mission to fuel collaboration, innovation and global competitiveness, The Northern Tech Summit will bring together more than 500 entrepreneurs, investors, policy makers and decision makers from across Northern England to take part in the unique two-day event with a clear theme: collaborate to compete.

Organised by TECH SY, the first confirmed speaker at the event is internationally recognised data and ecosystem expert Yoram Wijngaarde, the founder of Dealroom. During the event, Yoram will discuss his journey, which saw him leave a successful career in investment banking in London and New York to launch the global data intelligence platform that tracks and monitors high-growth companies and venture capital ecosystems.

The event will take place at the iconic Crucible Theatre between 21st – 22nd October.
